    I think they have been playing in that most of the last eight years Hardtack

    Knowing your searching reviews of player performance I doubt it.

    I will expect a thorough report R and B 500 words will be fine.

    Sadly the time rules me out Mr. Leg and as I have no Foxtel I am destined to accept the wisdom of those on Demonland re our performance.

    Simple fact there is no connection, different name, different colours. Little connection to the past. As you suggest for every new supporter they picked up there was another like me who dropped off. I feel no connection to United. Interesting that over the last decade as the Dees spiralled to irrelevancy I have got a lot more enjoyment watching second and third tier sport. There is no TV so you have to go. Perhaps I just hunger for a simpler time but I really enjoy being close to the action something that is totally missing in AFL

    Great days R and b at the time I was enjoying it as much as the great MFC days.Instead of going with my father I had my daughter along. I know I am a one team person the Dees and the Tigers . I will be off to a few games this winter to see the Tigers in the Big V.

    No matter how much I squinted dc I would know that I was amongst the frightful supporter group any interest in basketball?

    Is the NBL dead it has been on life support for a few years now but the end may have arrived? I wrote the following elsewhere but thought I would start a thread here. Unlike most others I am a fan of Basketball and used to be a member of the Tigers. I quit when they became "united" . I still like basketball and this year will follow the Tigers in the "Big V' league. There was a time when the NBL was threatening to take on the AFL. I remember in the 90's going to Full houses at the Tennis centre on Friday nights. In my opinion it got a little ahead of itself and spent more than it could afford then moved to Summer and IMO lost its way. seems doomed now with two clubs in receivership another close and three being held up by wealth benefactors. It is said that the owners of Melbourne United have put in $7million over the last three years. It is gone I think and I as a force of one am disappointed. The up side is I can support the Tigers again. I wonder if I would do the same if the dees ended up in the Amos? I think maybe yes.

    I know this is occasional a thread about Aussie rules but i have to make a comment about the impending doom of the NBL.

    Sadly Running late I hear Mr Leg after a late change from this morning to 1.00PM. Wonder if they will make Lunar Park next Sunday Was considering taking No.1 GD but at four she is not good at waiting

    Mr Leg and dc there seems to be some problems with today's session No players I hear. I thought we had moved on from this sort of thing but it appears not.
  23. old dee replied to Redleg's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    No Mr Leg I got almost exactly what I expected.Happy with the result after all it is practise match no.1 I still think we have a bottom six list not a top four one like Freo. We are improving I think things are going to plan. I just think a lot of dees supporters imagine the list is way better than it is is. I think I have said before that 2016 is the year I think we will move up the ladder a fair bit. Nothinhg I have seen so far suggests I am wrong. Happy to be of course.
